FROM THE EDITOR

       Here we are again at the end of another year. We have attended book fairs, ancestry gatherings, historic walks, reunions and many, many graveyards but all in all we have learned a lot and had a great time. A really hot year and a year of extremes.
       Turkey Trot went well, not a drop of rain. (It rains every year so this year was a surprise). We sold a lot of books and made a lot of new friends. Looking forward to a new year and to new books.
       See you all in the new year

QUERY

       Searching for burial place of Rebecca (Haines) Doshier. She is living with her son, John Henry Doshier on the 1880 census. John and his wife, Martha (Mears) Doshier are buried at Pleasant ridge, but Rebecca's place of burial is unknown.
       I have a funeral home record for Dora Patterson Brady who is buried at Pleasant Ridge but no record of where the grave is. She died 24 June 1951. I want to put up a stone for her but don't know where she is buried. She is the sister of Bob Patterson, Marvin Patterson, Elmeda Briggs, and Oscar Patterson.
